GOSPEL READING: LUKE 17:11-19

“Go show yourselves to the priests.”

Ten lepers met Jesus and they begged him to heal them. Probably they had heard of his healing ministry. Jesus also had pity on them and healed them immediately. He has asked them to do what was prescribed in the law. They had to be proved clean by the priests and then they have to offer sacrifices before they return to their respective community and family.

One of them returned to Jesus. Could we say that he went to Jesus because he thought that Jesus was the priest? Could we say that he went to Jesus because he found Jesus to be the temple? Could we also say that he offered his sacrifices (thanksgiving) to Jesus? And this is precisely made him a man of faith.

நற்செய்தி வாசகம்: லூக்கா 17:11-19

‘நீங்கள் போய் உங்களைக் குருக்களிடம் காண்பியுங்கள்”

பத்து தொழுநோயாளர்களை இயேசு குணமாக்கினார். ஒழுங்குகளை கடைபிடிக்க அவர்களை குருக்களிடம் அனுப்பினார். ஒருவன் இயேசுவிடம் திரும்பி வந்தான். ஒருவேளை அவன் இயேசுவில் குருவைக் கண்டானா? அவரிடம் நன்றி(பலி) செலுத்தினான். அதுதான் அவனது விசுவாசம்.
